Review HTC Dream (T-Mobile G1) with Google's new mobile Android
 | Finally released the new phone with Google's Android operating system here in Germany a few months after U.S. release. Some time ago I was looking to buy a Smartphone, but I did not want to be an Apple Iphone. My first impressions are very good, especially in relation to hardware, I can say that: - It is beautiful, especially the black - The keyboard is comfortable to type. - Does not seem to be very sensitive to risk, alias comes with a plastic to protect the screen and a little bag. - The screen is almost the same size as the iPhone, lacking only a few mm, the resolution is good, and the touch works very well. - To aid navigation still have the scroll. - The camera is great, 3.2MP high focus. - Bluetooth is stereo (although I will buy a headset for it) - The only thing I disliked was the position of the headset, as connected with them is bad typing. |
Now with regard to the new Android operating system I think the numbering is wrong, this version should not be here but the 1.1 (0.alguma thing), has many things that are still unfinished, but it will greatly improve in the next months, the main flaws:
- Has no way to turn off the internet, and it downloads even with no applications running and apparently disconnected with the update.
- No task manager, so it is not possible to know what is running.
- Still does not support bluetooth stereo
- No bookmark in the browser, but Chrome is better than the native Opera.
But some things surprised me, as:
- Integration with my Google account, he brought my calendar and contacts automatically, and now I have Gmail contacts who were in the Sim-Card.
- Changing the photo of the contact in Gmail (site), this picture appears when the person calls you. Directly it is not possible for the photo on contact.
- Quantity of good and free programs in the Android Market.
- Looks very pretty, with transition effects and transparency.
- Very fast in responding to any command.
- Intuitive, but it is necessary to learn what changes are made when you click on the item and if it has clicked, and can even copy and paste with ease.
For now it is, I'll test the programs that I downloaded and put a summary in the coming days.
